TRAVELER
SPENDING GROWS
TIA has just released the latest edition of one of its most
popular and important reports - The Economic Review of Travel
in America (ERTIA)- which quantifies the economic impact
of travel to and within the United States. This year's report
reveals that domestic and international travelers spent over
$600 billion in the U.S. in 2005, up significantly over 2004
and projects that the trend will continue with an estimated
$740 billion in traveler spending by 2007, nearly eight percent
more than 2006. For more information about this report, click

WINE
AND CULINARY TRAVELERS: A PROFILE
TIA's new report on Wine and Culinary travelers shows that this
segment makes up roughly one-fifth of the U.S. leisure traveling
population and, compared to the average leisure traveler, are
more affluent, better educated, and take part in more activities
while traveling, making this a large, active, and potentially
lucrative market for destinations and travel marketers. In addition
to providing a detailed demographic profile of these travelers,
TIA's Profile of Culinary Travelers provides in-depth
analysis of trip characteristics. The report will be officially
launched at a press event in New York City on February 14. For
more information on this report, click here.
